It seemed everyone here is getting likely letters and other positive letters from school officials, but i got NOTHING.

Yet, colleges are gonna send out their decisions in barely a month. MIT gonna send them out on March 12th!!!!!!

THough i know well that i will be rejected after all, but there is still some stubborn spirits in the back of my head that won't accept the rejection!

I've been trying to imagine the instant i opened the decision letter and a very dark line appeard "i'm very sorry to inform you that we are unable to......". Usually it's in my dreams, worse than the most terrible nightmare. God, how am gonna deal with that.

Ok i might enlist myself in the army or something and get into a battle, at least i could be a war hero or some one to be remembered and respected not neglected as i am now by colleges.

but as a second thought, china is quite a pacifist country always avoiding to entangle itself in any conflicts, so i might not get into battle field even if i join the army. I'm gonna continue being neglected and ignored.

There is still many nice things i can do in this world. like, since i won't be accepted into college, i will remain here in this CC discussion board and become the king of posters! Becoming the most prolific College Confidential poster of all the time!

Amylase -- You are so determined to go to get into HYPSM, you have improved a lot since the last year when you got rejected. Now you are def. on the same level as eyeryone else applying to HYPSM. Good luck, but as a contingency plan you could always stay in HS another year (you are a junior this year, right?)...

Most of my friends have gotten their acceptance letters in a thin envelope. I think most colleges want you to send in the deposit fee first before they waste time mailing you the neccessities if you wont attend.

hey amylase, are you chinese? (i think i read that in another post) if so, are there any chinese colleges you wanna attend? my parents are always talking about those two good ones in beijing. will you be taking those "high tests" too? sorry if i sound nosy or something, i'm just curious.
